Cytochrome P450 3A4 and P‐glycoprotein Expression in Human Small Intestinal Enterocytes and Hepatocytes: A Comparative Analysis in Paired Tissue Specimens

Abstract: This work demonstrated a much higher content of both CYP3A4 protein and P-glycoprotein in enterocytes isolated from human duodenal or jejunal mucosa than in paired specimens of liver tissue. These results lend support to the view that biotransformation in the gut wall substantially contributes to the overall first-pass metabolism of many CYP3A4 substrates. Furthermore, the high content of P-glycoprotein on the apical surface of enterocytes supports the theory that this efflux transporter may act in concert wit… Show more

“…29 CYP3A5*1 carrier state is associated with higher hepatic and intestinal CYP3A5 expression and activity, [30][31][32][33] thus in CYP3A5 expressers, more diltiazme N-demethylation metabolites are formed resulting in stronger inhibition of CYP3A activity, which might explain the finding of our study. In addition, in recent years, expression of CYP3A enzyme has been shown to be transcriptionally regulated by nuclear receptor pregnane X receptor (PXR).…”

“…Although the variant al-leles in position 2677 and 3435 of ABCB1 have been found to modify intestinal MDR1 expression, 15,19 the absence of such an influence in liver might be accounted for by the lack of intraindividual correlation between hepatic and intestinal MDR1 protein levels. 38 Furthermore, because of the low hepatic MDR1 content compared with human small intestine, 38 a genetic effect on protein expression might be mitigated by confounding factors such as underlying disease, drug treatment, or by our semiquantitative approach.…”

“…Indeed, the calculated intrinsic clearance of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 by UGT1A4, compares reasonably well (21-51%) with that of the sapogenins, androstanediol and pregnanediol, compounds that are considered excellent UGT1A4 substrates [24]. 2 D 3 has been investigated in rats using quantitative whole-body autoradiography [Kissmeyer]. After dosing (ca; 12 μg), total radioactivity in liver at 8 hr was 1.5-fold higher than that in blood (121 vs 79 ng/g tissue) although the composition of 1,25 (OH) 2 D 3 in each tissue was unknown.…”

“…Much of this variability results from differences in CYP3A4 protein content, which can vary more than 8-fold even in mucosal epithelium obtained from healthy volunteers [1,2]. Although the source of that variability is probably multi-factorial, some studies have documented dynamic changes in CYP3A4 transcription that can occur following activation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) by its natural ligand, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (1,25(OH) 2 D 3 ) [3,4,5,6].…”
